TURNING ON THE DEVICE AND SETTINGS
Especially in mineralized grounds (containing chemicals, salts and minerals), target signal is negatively affected by the
''noise'' caused by ground mineralization. This situation may prevent the detector from getting a clean signal from the target
necessary for metal detection and accurate discrimination. Ground balancing is a process through which the metal detector
is able to cancel out the negative effects caused by ground mineralization.
3) RIGHT AREA: Is used to eliminate high mineralized rocks and soils. If you are on a highly mineralized ground and the device is still
getting ground noise with the ground balance set at mid-level, turn the ground balance knob to the right in very small increments to
eliminate the noise.
The most important thing to pay attention here is that as the ground balance goes into the right area, the device will start losing depth
for some non-ferrous metals except for gold. When the ground balance setting reaches the maximum point the device will detect iron
and gold but it will not detect some non-ferrous metals.
IMPORTANT!: If you are searching on high mineralized ground (extremely salty soil, wet beach sand, wet plowed land or highly magnetic
ground conditions) you may not be able to ground balance the device. In such a case, leave the ground balance knob at around level 6-7
and turn the SEARCH MODE knob to IRON OFF. This will eliminate the noise and false signals caused by mineralization.
Golden Sense ground balance setting consists of 3 different levels:
1) MID-LEVEL: Offers the most ideal and stable detection capability on different types
of grounds without sacrificing depth.
2) LEFT AREA: Recommended for more precise detections and for experienced users.
The device may generate false signals in changing ground conditions, even over holes
dug for testing. Therefore, if you set the ground balance in this area, you have to take
this factor into consideration.
